I have some stuff called "PCB Laquer" i think. Someone gave it to me a while ago and siad it was something to do with protecting PCBs but ive never used it. Is that anything similar?
Same idea. Me, I like to "tin" the boards first, makes surface mounts easier. Then some scotch tape across the pads before I spray paint (if I paint first). Then when the board is tested and ready to go I will spray the whole thing again. I have gotten to these maybe extremes because most of my stuff ends up in very high corrosion places.

I do a lot of one time stuff, so I do not very often use an outside service to make the really nice boards. Takes some time though to make a board that will last.

I think sparkfun.com has an article about solder masking.
